Teresa Giudice's Daddy Drama

Starmagazine.com:

Teresa Giudice has done her fair share of damage since she shot to stardom on The Real Housewives of New Jersey — but none of it compares to the distress she’s inflicted on her father.


Between his daughter’s embarrassing public money woes and her fights with her brother, Joe, Giacinto Gorga, 67, just can’t take it anymore, and the drama is seriously affecting his frail health.


“Her father has had a heart condition for many years now. He’s currently in very bad shape,” a source close to the family tells Star. “The stress of the show the last few years has taken a toll on him.”


The stress on Giacinto is exacerbated with both of his kids on the show this season, which has been a particularly humiliating one for the Gorgas. “Giacinto has been depressed over all the fighting,” the source says.


And to make matters worse, Teresa, who is very close to her parents, seems to be focusing more on her finances than on helping her dad cope with his health issues.


“The family is concerned how much longer he’s going to live because of his condition,” the source adds. “He is so sick. But the talk is that she’ll do anything for money, even when her dad is sick.

Taylor Armstrong Says Her Husband Russell Was Abusive

Wetpaint.com:

Weeks after news of her divorce surfaced, Taylor Armstrong reveals her husband, Russell, was physically and emotionally abusive during their 5-year marriage.


In a new interview with People magazine, Taylor openly admits Russell not only grabbed and shoved her, but also pulled her hair and threw things at her. Because Taylor suffered physical abuse as a child and has worked with survivors of domestic violence at shelters for years, we can imagine it must be a traumatizing place to revisit.


“Allowing this to happen in my own relationship was something I felt very ashamed of,” she says, adding that she also filed for divorce for the sake of her 5-year-daughter, Kennedy.


As for Russell, who moved out of the family home in June, he confessed to the mag that he may have pushed Taylor “in the heat of the moment” but denies ever pulling her hair.


It definitely sounds like Taylor did the right thing by ending this troubled marriage.

Kelsey and Camille Grammer Settle Child Custody Battle...For Now

TMZ.com:

TMZ has learned ... Kelsey Grammer and his ex-wife Camille have settled their child custody dispute -- but only temporarily. And make no mistake about it -- they're still at war.


Sources tell TMZ ... the agreement outlines who gets the kids, when and where, etc. We're told Camille will have both kids more than Kelsey, but the agreement accommodates Kelsey's work schedule.


The kids will not be separated. You'll recall, at one point Kelsey's lawyer recommended that the couple's son would fly to Chicago to stay with him, and their daughter would stay with Camille in L.A.


Our sources say the underlying issues between the couple have not been resolved -- i.e., money and permanent custody.


We're told Camille is bitter at the way Kelsey has treated her and the kids, while Kelsey is angry because he feels Camille has been disrespectful to his new wife.

"Disrespectful to his new wife"?!? LOL! Or the whore he was sleeping with while he was still married. I mean, can this guy really be that aloof? Or does committing adultery just not matter any more in this country?
